History

They were originally signed to Roc-A-Fella Records (2002–2004), but now record on their own label, Diplomat Records, under several different labels, including Def Jam (since 2003) (Juelz Santana), Koch (since 2004) (Hell Rell), Jim Jones, and J.R. Writer), Warner Bros. (Katt Williams), and Asylum (since 2004) (Duke Da God, Freekey Zekey, Cam'ron, Jim Jones).

Controversy

The Diplomats also have previously sponsored a brand of liquor, Sizzurp.^[2] Although "Sizzurp" as a term has its beginnings in a Three 6 Mafia song about codeine-based Syrup, the two drinks are actually unrelated. In 2004, the Dipset and Three 6 Mafia collaboration, "Purple Punch" (also featuring Bun B), was to appear on Diplomatic Immunity 2. "Purple Punch" did not include Project Pat or Pimp C due to the imprisonments of the two men at the time, but later when released recorded their own version titled, "Purple Punch 2."
